@StevenBibas Yes. 100% think The FO is going to dangle Drouin, maybe Suter, if they’re lucky Buch? to teams who miss out on their FA targets. No shot the forward group is settled as it currently stands. Too many bodies assuming they sign both RFAs and the Dube rumors are true.
@STLBluesChirp Interested in the EP40 revival, but only if VAN is essentially giving him away to get out from under that contract. Drouin & 29 with money retained? Sure.
@BluesProspects1 I agree. I don’t think that would be the ONLY reason they’d hire him lol but I did think, hmmm, young Finnish center. Makes ya think if this is one of their main targets.
@ian_LGI16 As a Blues fan, this seems realistic. Heinemen is young enough, we want more physicality, and we love Swedes. Idk how interested the FO is in more futures though. If Nelson/1st was Ritchie I think it’s a yes. I know most islanders fans will say no shot to trading him though lol
@Ferrario101ESPN The thing I never understood about the Thomas for Wallstedt rumors is, what is the realistic gap between him and Hofer, if any? Because it definitely isn’t your best player.
@YeYo_Gam1nG I just haven’t had time to invest lately. I got last year’s game and made it about 2 months in and then just couldn’t play enough to keep up with content.
@jprutherford I get these situations are complicated with NTCs/money/term, but keeping these players just to move them in the off season, which could very well cost them their best pick since Petro seems like worst case scenario.
